What have I been making all year.

  It is finally here.

My friend and I have been slowly working on 2022 Xmas gifts for our quilt group.

We made sets of luggage tags. The trial cuts.

40 sets all cut out and ready to sew

We are getting there.

And hexies key rings

Time to give out these wonderful gifts.

A job well done..

All packed away in fabric envelopes made by another member.

Here they are all packaged ready to go on the tables.

Junee, part 5. The trip home.

 Okay, we had a great weekend and now it’s time to go home.

We had rain but some sunshine too. The trip home was wet and stormy.

Sylvia, this photo is to show that we do have to slow down a lot.

This is how the day started. Wet

Then road works

The floods are up to the roads edge.

The river is very close here. This hwy ended up being flooded and closed off for about 2-3 weeks. 

This was the first nights camp stop for my hubby on his bike trip. It is flooded out and closed.

Look what we were headed for.

And then the heavy rain started.

Can you see the cars headlights coming towards us.

The roads damage was very poor with bad potholes most of the way. We got home to our town now in floods. 

The weekend was worth it.

Sewing with friends

  I had some friends stay for the weekend. 

We had a mini workshop making our Kris Kringle gift for our Xmas break up dinner. We were to make a mug bag and mug rug, following the same pattern.

Here is what we made following this tutorial.       Mug Bag & Mug Rug Tutorial

We had fun making them and can’t wait to see what everyone receives.

Junee. Part 4. The Roundhouse

  We love trains. It was so good to stumble across this place. We had asked a few locals and they hadn’t visited it before. With not knowing much about it and with the weather so poorly we nearly didn’t see it. 

I’m so glad we did

It was good to see all the old trains. We got to see the first class cabin and the second class. Go in all the carriages. It was very interesting to see.

Junee part 3. Zoom and fireworks.

 We did a little drive and walk through the town. There is no patchwork shop here but they do have a sewing group that meets at the RSL on a Tuesday. Their notice and display was in a shop window.

Chooky had another zoom session on but I couldn’t stay for long. I did join in and sewed too before we went out to dinner.

We were tired when we returned and while relaxing there was an almighty bang. It turned out that behind the caravan park was the show grounds and the locals were having their yearly show. Celebrated at the end of the day with FIREWORKS. They were beautiful.

And off to bed we went.

Happy Birthday Tony

 What a weekend we had. Another birthday is here to celebrate.

Love to you, my beautiful husband.

10 years today

 

A visit to Junee. part 2. The Motor Museum

 In between the rain we crossed over the car park and looked into the Motor Museum.

Tony found it interesting as his first job was working on lawn mowers and after his mechanical career he is once again working on them again a few hours a week.

This car has recently done a 3 week trip to the middle of Australia. I can’t believe it still works on such a big trip but they say it didn’t have any issues the whole time gone. I am impressed.

Look at this push bike lawn mover. How funny.

We even got to meet both the owners who have this great collection.

The rain got a bit heavier so we went back to the cafe for another coffee. Then we sprinted back to the caravan park. We had so much to eat for our breakfast that we didn’t even have lunch.

It was amazing to see all the old cars, bikes and mowers.
